Madison, Wis. - Simon & Garfunkel announced that Madison, Wis., will be the second date on their U.S. tour taking place this spring. The legendary duo is making its first concert tour together since their extraordinarily successful "Old Friends Tour" in 2003. Tickets will go on sale Saturday, March 13 at 10 a.m. CT.

The tour kicks off at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival on Saturday, April 24 and will make its way to Madison on Sunday May 9 at 8 p.m. CT at the Kohl Center. More cities will be announced soon.

Simon & Garfunkel possess an unequaled and timeless songbook and their wonderful blend of voices and energies provide a thrill that only the best of live music performances can create. The pair released a live archive treasure in 2009, "Live 1969", that included part acoustic and part electric versions of classics like "Bridge Over Troubled Water", "Mrs. Robinson", "Homeward Bound", "The Sound of Silence" and "The Boxer" among others.

The lifelong friends have performed together and separately for over 30 years. They rose to fame in 1965 backed by the hit single "The Sound of Silence". Their music was featured in the landmark film The Graduate. View their body of work here.
